That battery has a lower 7.2Ah capacity and smaller F1 terminals so technically not RBC17-compatible despite saying so (one reviewer used pliers to compensate for the loose connection). Mighty Max does have a 9Ah battery with F2 terminals for $23.55, curiously shipped and SOLD by Amazon [amazon.com] which may or may not be a good thing: for SLA battery with a limited storage/shelf life, some may prefer the seller ship fresh stock directly from their own warehouse (as with your 7.2Ah listing).
OP's listing is good when your friend needs a battery, since you don't want to be blamed for getting an off-brand if it doesn't work. For myself, I usually buy at least 2, and I can get (2) 9Ah for around $40 shipped from battery specialists like BatterySharks.com. Those popular CyberPower 1350VA/1500VA UPS towers each take two 7Ah/8Ah/9Ah F2 batteries (model RB1270/RB1280/RB1290) if you reuse the old wiring harness.
Also, I ensure that the UPSes that I buy can take the larger 7-9Ah battery size (as smaller sized batteries aren't much cheaper). Those used to be commonly $40 and under back in the Staples coupon days but for the last few years the cheaper models come with physically smaller 5.5-6Ah batteries.

shall I buy this OEM or get a aftermarket?
i have RBC-17 in my hand, it measures about 6x3.75x2.5in
That is unlike lead-acid, where trickle charge of fully charged battery is the preferred storage condition
That's why power stations are not advertized as UPS replacements - although idea is pretty similar. it's a different operation scenario
Since you brought this up. I am up for a new car battery for my 2015 nissan sentra. I am hunting for deals but cant find any. Any suggestions?

Check costco if you have a membership, or know someone.

Also, do you have any concerns about fire risk using this?
They really do need to start offering Lithium options for the consumer grade. If I remember correctly they do have some Lithium powered UPS options for servers, but I agree I would love a smaller more powerful unit designed with Lithium in mind.

I understand that this is not for everybody...but if you are a little handy, you can replace this Lead Acid battery with a DIY LI-Ion battery made with 18650's.
You get the same benefits here as you do elsewhere with this change.
